Vanessa Williams Lands A New Love On ‘Desperate Housewives’

There’s more love in the Lane, as in Wisteria, next season. According to TVLine.com, Vanessa Williams’ Renee is getting a new “Desperate Housewives” beau, to be played by “V” alum Charles Mesure. He’ll appear as Ben, whom TVLine describes as “a sexy, charming and occasionally ruthless contractor” who is one very tough self-made man. No word on exactly how or when he’ll show up, but after battling aliens on his show last season, he should be perfectly prepared for dealing with the strange goings-on up and down Wisteria Lane.
